I’ll give you a brief introduction on the basics of paddleboarding and kayaking before we head out onto the water to explore a lush mangrove jungle. As we wind our way through narrow canals, we’ll be on the lookout for all different types of wildlife including; manatees, iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, raccoons even possibly dolphins. We’ll explore the natural wonders of the area for a couple hours before making our way into so mangrove tunnels where we will relax, swim and enjoy a delicious fresh fruit snack and drinks . Including; watermelon, cantaloupe, banana. Drinks included and totally free all you can drink; gatorade, soda and water. After we are all full and everyone is ready to go we will head back to shore. There is never a rush for time. Please keep in mind the manatees and dolphins we are spotting are wild animals roaming a large area. They are seen less often in the summer months. Don't worry there will still be many beautiful plants and animals to see and learn about.

Thank you for this unique experience
Mali & José were amazing Tourguides and Captains, loved the experience. Had a lot of fun Kayaking and saw a lot of Raccoons on Raccoonisland. Glad I booked this tour 10/10!
via Tripadvisor
Great experience
We had a wonderful time with Mira and Jose exploring the mangroves and Raccoon island! We got to snorkel around raccoon island as well, and I was surprised at the diversity of fish and sea life we saw so close to shore. The included drinks and fruit were also appreciated.

Fun and Relaxing
Francis and Captain Devin were very outgoing and professional. We had a very a good time. We had enough time to explore the islands and had a fun time with the raccoons. All and all fun and smooth experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing Tour!
Everyone was wonderful on this tour. Francis is a great tour guide. The raccoons were easy to find on the island (they hide in the mangroves), but will come out as soon as they see food in your hand.

Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak cost?
+
Prices start at $106 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.
Is Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,222 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak?
+
Around 428 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Miami?
+
Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-Hour Miami Private Boat Tour: Skyline & Star Island, The Official Art Deco Walking Tour by The Miami Design Preservation League, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Miami?
+
November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Miami?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak?
+
Included: Bottled water; safety gear; kayaks; stand up paddle boards; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak?
+
Arrive at VENETIAN Marina, walk down to the marine gas station. Look for a bright blue boat named CATARIA PLEASE ARRIVE 30 Min BEFORE TO ENSURE YOU FIND LOCATION Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Nature & Island Exploration on SUP/Kayak if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
